About this Performance
India.Arie has always done things her own way. Her meshing of soul, folk, pop, R&B, and hip-hop put her in a league with few others when she debuted with 2001’s double-platinum Acoustic Soul, with its massive self-acceptance anthem “Video.” Her unique approach has led to four Grammys and collaborations with everyone from Herbie Hancock to Stevie Wonder to Akon. The singer and songwriter has always broken gender and racial stereotypes—listen to her song “I Am Not My Hair” for proof—and now that she’s eight albums into her career, she’s breaking stereotypes about herself, too. Her latest album, WORTHY, is still marked by the spiritual perspective she’s known for, a message of empathy and growth that’s made her a favorite of Oprah’s. But it’s also more sensual, groovier, more in touch with the physical world. And that means she’s putting a new spin on what she calls her mission statement: “to spread love, healing, peace, and joy through the power of words and music.”
Singer-songwriter Emily King opens the night with songs that dig into life’s deepest sorrows, uncovering unexpected beauty and illuminating truth.
